NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

The Trail Blazers have an absolute advantage with a big score of 2 to 0. As long as they win another game, they can get the match point?

This put a lot of pressure on the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had been watching drama all night in the East.

Is the Trail Blazers going to win the Western Conference Finals again?

Three consecutive years into the finals? !

When a No. 23 rookie whose hairline is receding day by day, thinks that he will meet the Trail Blazers No. 36 in the finals, and immediately feels a liver pain.

From the Heat to the Cavaliers, year after year, how come I keep meeting you!

At this moment, James finally realized the uncontrollable depression and helplessness that other strong teams in the East always encountered after meeting him in the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, after all, the Warriors are a historical powerhouse with 73 wins in the regular season. Even if they fell behind 0-2, some people still think that they still have a chance to come back, and there are quite a few people who hold this view.

Many of them are fans of many teams that have been defeated by the Trail Blazers in the playoffs in the past few seasons. Their home team has been defeated by the Trail Blazers for several years. Naturally, they wish the Warriors could overthrow the Trail Blazers. team domination.

This is one of the reasons why teams capable of defending championship titles are so rare.

When you win the championship in one season, all the teams in the next season will regard you as a sworn enemy, and those coaches who are interested in the championship will stare at you, waiting for you to make mistakes; including their management The upper layers will also reach a unified tacit agreement in the trading market, and it is strictly forbidden for strong players to flow into the defending champion team.

In this case, except for some veterans who are eager to join the championship, the reinforcement routes are almost blocked.

Of course, the reason why the Trail Blazers can maintain such a strong competitiveness is entirely because they have taken another path.

That is to say, increase the thickness of the team's bench by selecting potential rookies. If you are lucky enough to select a super rookie who can serve as the cornerstone of the team, the future of the team will be established.

For example, Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Barton in the 12th draft, and Jokic selected in the previous two years, and Harrell selected this year.

Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Jokic all have the potential to become the core of the team, while Button and Harrell are a few notches weaker. Although not as good as the first three, they are also enough to enter the important rotation list.

In fact, fans of many teams are very envious of the draft vision of the Trail Blazers management, who can accurately select plastic talents from a draft conference and cultivate them into the future of the team.

But this envy, they can only keep it in the bottom of their hearts, and what is always revealed is undisguised jealousy.

The reason is also very simple, the other's hero, my enemy!

…

That same night, the Toronto Raptors came to the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls.

At 19:00 in the evening, the tiebreaker, which determines the life and death of the two teams in the series, officially broke out.

What people didn't expect was that the Bulls were really overthrown by the Raptors at home!

The good brothers DeRozan and Lowry swept away the slump of being abused at home in the last game, and set off a violent offensive wave in the first half.

Thanks to Davis' continuation of his performance in the previous game, he scored 21 points and 9 rebounds in two quarters, helping the Bulls to be bitten by the score. Only then did they withstand the Raptors' outside offensive.

Just when people thought that the Bulls should be able to fight back in the second half and start a more intense confrontation with the Raptors, an accident happened suddenly, making Bulls fans feel like they were in an ice cave!

Derrick Cross, the core of the Bulls, was a talented point guard who set the record of being the youngest regular season MVP before Wang Zelin. He has suffered a series of injuries since the 11-year league MVP, and has not been able to decline all the way.

He has rarely maintained a healthy state this season, and his performance has rebounded again, so that people almost forget the various injuries he has suffered before.

Finally, on the night of May 17th, when the Bulls were very hopeful to return to the Eastern Conference Finals again, fate once again made a joke for Rose.

At 2 minutes and 45 seconds after the start of the third quarter, Rose fell to the ground after a layup with a physical confrontation, and then did not stand up.

Sprained back!

The damned injury came to Rose again, and the career of this windy city rose seemed destined to be full of disasters.

…

Unsurprisingly, the Bulls without Rose seem to have lost their firepower. Except for Davis who can play steadily with his own excellent strength, the rest of the Bulls players are like sleepwalking on the court, and the help they can provide him is about zero.

The boss is injured and his teammates are disconnected... In this case, even though Davis scored 15+7 in the second half and scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists, he still lost to the three armies. Raptors.

At 89:112, the Bulls were beaten by the Raptors for 23 points at home and lost the tiebreaker.

The playoff journey belonging to the Bulls is over.

Looking at the big score of 3 to 4 on the screen, Davis, who played 45 minutes tonight, could not care about the sweat on his face, and his heart was full of helplessness.

He originally planned to reach the Eastern Conference Finals this year, even kill the Cavaliers led by James, join the Trail Blazers led by Wang Zelin in the finals, and finally win the championship with his own hands, proving that he is the strongest in the 2012 draft By.

Now, his dream has woken up!

…

Chicago in May was like a steamer, so hot that it was suffocating.

The hot summer is earlier than before, but for the fans here, their hearts are a little cold.

Just halftime into the crucial tiebreaker, the team's young leader Derrick Rose was suddenly injured again.

When Rose was carried out of the field on a stretcher, all Chicago fans were worried.

The next morning, the Bulls officially announced the injury, and Rose suffered a back sprain!

It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least 2-3 weeks to fully recover.

For the Bulls team, this is simply a nightmare, as if the sky is about to fall.

You know, Rose is the only core of this Bulls team! Even after Davis joined, Rose's status as the head star has never been shaken.

He has also been regarded as the best hope for the Bulls in the post-Jordan era to regain the championship and even establish a dynasty.

This season, under the leadership of Rose and Davis, they passed the first round with ease. In the last game, they defeated the Raptors in an away game in Toronto. When they returned home, they planned to go all the way to the Eastern Conference finals and re-live with the little emperor James. It's a showdown.

All fans felt that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ when Rose was about to lead the Bulls to a breakthrough, misfortune happened quietly, and the rose withered again.

As for the deputy management coaches who directly confronted their friends, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot at the moment.

Losing Rose is a great loss for the team. After all, the entire Bulls are built around Rose, and this season is also led by Rose.

For the Bulls, the past belonged to Jordan, but the present and future here are all in this young man.

Even though this young man suffered from injuries more than once before, he is still the Windy City Rose, another MVP who grew up in the country since Jordan.

The Bulls management does not want to give up on Rose, and is still looking for room for rescue.

But it is undeniable that after experiencing the double blow of Rose's injury and the failure of the tiebreaker, the entire Chicago is in grief.
